Rape victim

She told family members and the mother of the unnamed girl said: “He warned her not to tell anyone because he knew she had two brothers and where they lived.

“He said if she ratted him out he would kill us all.”

The mother also alleged her daughter’s rapist didn’t use a condom, smoked cannabis and snorted cocaine while her daughter suffered.

Locals reportedly took matters into their own hands after getting tired of authorities not doing anything about this man and his past allegations.

The suspect was hiding in the mountains and locals say he had a den with girls’ clothes around and a mattress on the floor.

Based on accounts by the victims, they were all dragged by their hair to his den and threatened with a knife as they walked through the rural area.

A family member of the deceased said: “He didn’t deserve to die like that, it’s inhuman, not even for an animal, even if the accusations are true”.
